Abstract

Disclosed is an outdoor fitness centre comprising; at least one exercise station, having an exercise apparatus which, when used by one or more individuals to exercise, generates useful electrical energy; an electrical connection which connects the exercise apparatus to an electricity consuming facility within the fitness centre and/or to an external electricity grid supply to enable the electrical energy to be consumed at a remote location; and an electrical energy monitor to monitor the amount and/or rate of energy generated by one or more users of the exercise apparatus.
